Alienating loyal fans, whether you think they're "cringey" or not, is never a good idea.

The show lasted only about an hour and gave access to 100+ live fans and at least several thousand over the radio. Each one of those fans talked about the show/interaction with a few of their friends. That's at least 15-20k fans talking about the Vols every week as the result of a 1 hour show. That type of interaction helps drive the brand at the small market level and helps fuel interest in the program with the locals.

Eh. There are many, many better ways to drive the brand than cringey call in shows. If anything, I'm guessing the marketing people in the AD were saying it was bad for the brand and it needed to go. If they don't replace it with anything ever, I agree, that's a miss; but that show wasn't doing much of anything good for the brand. Access to the coaches is always good, but there are so many better ways to do it than that horrible show.

1. Not what I said. Your blatant, lazy, and purposeful misrepresentation of what I said should really dissuade me from continuing, but here goes 2. Ending Vol Calls does not mean less local people will talk about the Vols. That's a totally absurd assumption based on 0 information.

So having 0 fan interaction doesn't have any effect. Ok.

There's still opportunities for direct fan interaction with coaches and players. It's clear you have a personal sentiment with Vol Calls and I hate you're losing something you have an attachment to but imo it's a tad of an overreaction. Times have changed and they're almost certainly going to replace it with similar content.

No attachment. It's the culmination of constantly cutting out things for the fans then ramping up costs across the board.

Pic my boy just sent me from Bristol...they have spent all week removing their rental equipment...that is his flatbed rig down on the infield to the right. He is waiting on the breakdown guys to get finished so they can load what is left up and he walked up the bank to the wall...he said it's crazy how steep it is.

Yeah it's really hard to do the banking justice with pics. To either be standing on it or driving a car around it is the only way to truly appreciate it.

Or coaches making practice like real life. Never know when you go from backup to starter due to injury.
The backups need to be seriously ready to go at a moments notice.

17-0 🤠

It depends on how much alcohol you are drinking. As a nurse, my wife works with so many patients that have destroyed themselves with alcohol. Calls it a poisen. Thus, I pretty much cut out most alcohol. Plus, I get to lose dat beer belly.

Like the Good Book says, All things in moderation.

I don’t include tobacco products in any form or for me sodas. I will drink a ginger ale on a plane flight and that’s about it.

Crazy this would be a revelation for some.

I'm so done with talking season. I sincerely don't know how some of these ppl that only cover college football all year. They go over the same stuff over and over. Lawd.

Is Nico the Poster Child for not chasing a top recruit with no connection/affiliation to your University? Culture fit is so important.

And it has nothing to do with connection/affiiliation to your University.
95% of top recruits won’t have, so what are you gonna do , not recruit any of them?

Unless you have an FBI profiler on staff that can accurately predict what the people of influence associated with a recruit are actually really like then it’s going to be happen .

Yeah, I'm not saying Vols Calls needed to stay in it's format, just that there needs to be some sort of direct fan interaction with the coaches &/or players. They've eliminated a lot or all of that. They could've changed it or made something new entirely, but they shouldn't have erased it with no type of replacement.

Are we sure that there will be no replacement, or has there just not been one announced?
